Level 3 Lesson 1 / too much or very / 너무

Welcome to Level 3, everyone! And congratulations on finishing Level 1 and Level 2. In this lesson, we are introducing an expression that is very commonly used, and in two opposite meanings, too. The expression is 너무 [neo-mu] and it can be used to mean both “very” in positive sentences and “too much” in negative sentences. Listen in to learn more about how it is used!

뭐로 만들었어요? = rather than “How did you make it?” it’s like “What is it made of?”. The sentence is correct anyway! 😀

I still didn’t do the -서 thing, so I’m not sure about the 2nd sentence, lol

I believe that the last two sentences are just right! 😀
